Prairie Rose Public Schools getting new modular classrooms for Eagle Butte High School

Prairie Rose Public Schools will now begin working with consultants to determine the most effective site location and configuration for the new units.

Funding provided through the program will support necessary site preparation, servicing and unit delivery and setup.

The division’s goal is to have the modulars in place during the 2026-27 school year; exact timelines will depend on planning, site readiness, and construction factors.

“This is very positive news for our school community,” Principal of Eagle Butte High School Rocheal Howes said.

“We are grateful to see this investment in our school,” she added.

“These additional learning spaces will help us better support our students and staff as enrollment continues to grow, while maintaining the quality of programming our students expect.”

Prairie Rose Public Schools Board Chair Patty Rooks said the division is ready to move forward with implementation in collaboration with provincial partners.

“We appreciate the support from Alberta Education and Alberta Infrastructure in addressing enrollment pressures at Eagle Butte High School,” Rooks said.

“Our team will be working closely with both ministries to ensure the modular classrooms are delivered and installed as efficiently as possible to meet the needs of our students.”

Eagle Butte High School completed a modernization in 2019.

Continued enrollment growth at Eagle Butte High School has since led to the facility being added to Prairie Rose Public Schools’ Capital Plan for facility expansion.
